Texting While Driving

Cell phones consume our global society and have an infinite number of benefits. They make it easy to communicate with all of our contacts and have stretching the boundaries of media technology farther than anyone in the time of Alexander Graham Bell could have imagined. Like anything else, with great innovation comes great problems. In my opinion, on of the largest problems cell phones create is a driving distraction. While most people with cell phones can be found guilty of talking while driving, the people that feel they are good enough to drive while texting (with their eyes completely glued to their phone and not the road) are putting other ,people in danger.

The point of text messaging is to deliver messages to people that are not usually considered 'important' enough to make a phone call. If the text message isn't urgent why risk the lives of you, the people in your car, and all of the other people on the road. There are so many things that distract drivers but this media frenzy is another that can be added to the list.

I'm not asking you to pledge to Oprah that you will never text while driving (or you could...)But think about it... what if you killed someone in an accident because you were texting someone something like "yo, whats going on tonight?"
